[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Merge-CMConflictingRecord cmdlet merges a new Configuration Manager client record with a conflicting client record that has the same hardware information.
When Configuration Manager recognizes a new client, it uses hardware information to check whether it previously created a record for that computer. For example, you might have reinstalled the operating system. The previous client record still exists with the same hardware information. If you manually resolve conflicts, you have the option to merge the new record with the existing record, create a new record, or create a record as a blocked record. You can also configure Configuration Manager to resolve conflicts automatically.
You can specify conflicting records by using a name or ID or you can specify a site code to merge each of the unresolved conflicting records for that site.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1: Merge conflicting records for a site
PS XYZ:\>Merge-CMConflictingRecords -SiteCode "CM2"This command merges each of the conflicting records for the specified Configuration Manager site.
Example 2: Merge records for a named conflict
PS XYZ:\>Merge-CMConflictingRecords -Name "CR07"This command merges the conflicting records named CR07.
